Removal of the main sprig must be carried out by a qualified repairer. Read the instructions carefully before attempting this procedure to avoid injury.

RUNNING-IN

During the running-in period, after the first few hundred rounds, check the tightness of the stock fixing screws, and periodically thereafter Failure to keep the stock screws tight can result in broken screws The correct tightening torque is 0.35 Kg m (2.5 lb ft ) for the front stock screws (3383) 0.35 Kg m (2 5 lb ft.) for the guard screws (3387 & 3385) Use WEBLUBE for lubrication of air rifles, as directed in this manual

USE. CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF THE WEBLEY TOMAHAWK AIR RIFLE.

SPECIFICATION.

The Tomahawk is a spring operated, single shot, break-action air rifles fitted with a precision rifled barrel, primarily sated to waisted lead pellets. The use of

steel darts is not recommended. The rifle is available In 177 (4.5 mm), 22 (5.5mm) and 25 (6.35) calibre's

g) Area of body tube contacted by cocking key (3348), adjacent to loading lever slot (fig.3) - very occasionally when stock is removed.

TRIGGER ADJUSTMENT.

The Webley Tomahawk is fitted with a 2-stage trigger mechanism that is factory set to 0.9kg. (2lbs.)

To adjust these settings the action must be removed from the stock.

Screw A adjusts the position and length of the 1st stage trigger pull.

Screw B adjusts the position and length of the 2nd stage trigger pull.

Screw C adjusts the trigger pull load.

The sear engagement can be viewed through the 6mm hole each side of the trigger cage.

THE OPERATION OF THE SAFETY CATCH IS CONTROLLED BY THE TRIGGER MECHANISM SETTINGS, AFTER ADJUSTING THE TRIGGER MECHANISM ALWAYS CHECK THE SAFETY CATCH ENGAGES CORRECTLY AND THE RIFLE DOES NOT FIRE WHEN THE SAFETY CATCH IS IN THE "SAFE" POSITION. RE-ADJUST THE TRIGGER SETTINGS IF NECESSARY.

When checking the trigger pull always point the rifle towards the ground, even with a pellet in the barrel.

TECHNICAL SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS.

Firring a new breech seal.

Should the breech seal (2657) become damaged or worn, indicated by loss of velocity and air escaping at the breech, a new one should be fitted. To remove the

old one, cock the rifle - Apply the safe . Insert a sharp, pointed implement into the annular space occupied by the seal. Pierce the seal and flip it out

taking care not to damage or mark the breech face or the seal recess (fig.5)

When fitting a new breech seal ensure that it's housing is clean and free of any obstructions. The radiused end of the seal must face outwards so as to lie against

the breech face of the action. Ensure that the seal is located in its recess as far as it will go all the way round and that the protrusion above the face is about 0.020 ''

(0.5mm).

MAJOR OVERHAUL OR REPAIR.

(For a qualified repairer)

Changing the Mainspring and Damper

The need to change the mainspring will become necessary only after the rifle has been fired many thousands of times. The need to change will become indicated by

a gradual loss of pellet velocity not attributable to any other cause, e.g. air leaks, mechanical damage etc.

Removing the old mainspring

First ensure that the rifle is not cocked and then dismantle in the following sequence:

Ease the pressure off the barrel locking plunger allowing the plunger to rise against the spring pressure. The barrel locking plunger, together with the barrel

locking plunger spring can now be withdrawn from the barrel housing.

When reassembling the lock mechanism it is advisable to hold the barrel housing in a vice, using soft clamps or cloth to protect its finish.

Assemble the barrel locking plunger pin approx. 1/8'' (3 mm) into its hole on one side of the barrel housing - the pin is a drive fit.

Refit the barrel locking plunger spring and barrel locking plunger to the barrel housing. Compress the barrel locking plunger against the spring pressure until

its slot straddles the barrel locking plunger pin hole.

Push the. 1/8" (3 mm) diameter drift, now used as a slave peg, through the open end of the barrel locking plunger pin hole to retain the barrel locking

plunger spring and barrel locking plunger in the barrel assembly.

Drive the barrel locking plunger pin through until it lies centrally within its hole.

This operation will push the slave peg out.

Re-assemble the loading lever to the barrel housing, and then refit the barrel

assembly to the body tub, in the reverse order.

Piston and Seal Assembly.

The piston and seal assembly can only be removed when the mainspring, trigger mechanism and loading lever have dismantled from the body tube.

Insert a small screwdriver through the loading lever slot in the body tube, then carefully push or tap the piston (3453) towards the end of the tube taking care not

to touch or damage the piston seal (3144). When sufficient piston skirt has emerged, grasp it firmly and pull it right out.

Inspect the piston seal for wear and damage - do not dismantle it from the piston unless renewal is necessary. To remove the old seal, unclip it of the piston location using a screwdriver blade as a lever, alternatively slice through its section with a sharp safety razor blade, penknife or Stanley knife.

Before fitting a new piston seal, first clean. then lubricate the location recess

of the piston. Spring the new piston seal over the piston location and push it against the shoulder of the piston, the seal will then automatically into its recess.

If necessary, the piston seal may be immersed in boiling water until it becomes sufficiently pliable to clip over the piston (wipe the seal dry before fitting).

Check the seal is located evenly around the piston (fig. 8).

Oil the piston assembly, then wipe the front faces of the seal and piston dry. Clean and lightly lubricate the body tube bore - do not over lubricate. Refit the piston assembly to the body tube assembly, ensuring their loading lever slots are aligned with one another.

Important Note.

The lip of the piston seal is an interference fit in the body tube. As the piston assembly is pushed down the body tube, take care not to damage the piston seal lip as it passes over body end plug pin holes, safe clearance slot, trigger mechanism slot hidden by the cage and the loading lever slot.

To minimize the risk of damage, deflect inwardly the portion of lip exposed through the holed and slots using a blunt instrument e.g. the blade of a screwdriver

(fig.9).

Dismantling the trigger mechanism.

REFER TO THE DIAGRAM SHOWING DETAILS OF TRIGGER ASSEMBLY.

Before dismantling the trigger mechanism take note of how the springs are positioned to aid reassembly.

The trigger mechanism is removed from the action as a complete unit by tapping out the two end plug pins (3358). To dismantle the mechanism, tap out the

safe toggle pin (3371), and withdraw the safe toggle (3314) from the top of the cage. Tap out the main sear axis pin (3370), then remove the main sear (3363) and

mainsear spring (3374) from the front of the cage. Tap out the intermediate sear axis pin and remove the intermediate sear (3337) and its spring (3373) from the

rear of the cage. Tap out the trigger axis pin and remove the trigger blade (3335) and trigger block (3340) assembly from the underside of the cage. Unscrew the
